Like I said before -- they look like they're going to work, but they make it really easy to come up with something that doessn't work. I'm getting biased towards the command lnie, and I'm burning audio CD's from mp3s, and cdrecord (plus sox) is good for that, if there is only one, or a few files. But when trying to burn a cd full of mp3s, like 15 tracks or so from usenet :) like I did this past weekend (got ween - quebec) the command line is more complicated, and it would be nice to just send the files to the cd, and that is (supposedly) what the gui's accomplish. The problem with cdbakeoven is that its sampling is wrong. OK I suppose, if the input is 44100, 2 channel, stereo. But if it's anything elsse, it gets it wrong. It needs to be able to analyze the sample rate and format of what it is fed and intelligently resample to what the cd wants. i've found that something along the lines of 'mpg123 -s whatever.mp3 | sox -t raw -w -s -c 1 -r 22050 - -c 2 -r 44100 foo.wav' works with the otr mp3's I'm currently working with. some of course are resampled at different rates, so I have to check first before I resample. k3b crashes too often for it to be useful for most things. gcombust - well, it doesn't try to resample the mp3 at all, it'll just put it on there like you wanted a data cd of mp3s rather than an audio cd. but still, when working with a number of mp3s at once, their naming conventions are all screwed up like 'britneyspears carterwauling 01 0f 14.mp3' :) and it makes it difficult to automate this process. This past weekend i was working on burning ween and got it burned to a cd, and just had to manually reconvert each file to something like /tmp/01.wav /tmp/02.wav and so forth. Then I used cdrecord to put all the files in order on the new cd. > >James -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
